Born and raised in India, Axdy began writing music at age 14. Since his childhood, he had never received any formal musical training whatsoever and has self-learned each and every element of music-making affairs. Purely drawn to international music and films, his process involves the usage of synthesizers to compose the entire framework of music and then manually programs the complete project on his workstation, thus resulting in the finalized product. All of his works are completely westernized and are of avant-garde origin, breaking the traditional ways of making music. Axdy usually doesn't rely on the dependency factor and firmly believes in the ideology of solitude music-making due to which he has edified himself in a way that he is able to produce the entire output without anybody's intervention.
